Hey guys so I have been doing some hunting on carsales for a skyline to buy and this R33 GTS has popped up which im very interested in.

does it belong to anybody on the forum or does anybody know of it?

It seems to be perfect for me - basically no mods except for sound, tint and body kit. she is selling it with an exhaust but also including the stock which I will install. Its also at a great price.

heres the link

if anybody else knows of a similar car at a good price I would be interested in that too.

why dont u save up a little more for 10g and buy yourself a decent car that will last you mate.. and buy n auto turbo not a non turbo/auto .. that waiting that little extra bit always pays off in the end i know it did for me

lol :)

btw, resale value on an auto is craptacular. Very few people seem to want them... Can't imagine why... :thumbsup:

I dunno about the R33 but the R34's are tip...so they're not really an auto. If the R33's are tip as well I couldn't see how the resale would be effected much because it can be driven as a manual...it's just not a manual in the true sense...

r33s...especially 95s... Are pre tiptronic. The are as auto as it is possible to be :thumbsup:

ohhh...I didn't know that, I figured there was a chance cos a lot of other Jap cars were just starting to go tip in '95

then in that case I would looking for an R34 if I was him

hey mate....think i saw you in the show n shine...rit?..i would also recomend save a bit more and buy a decent turbo skyline...trust me you will want one once you hang around us... :P

unless you on your ps...and cant drive manual...check the jpcr33 like alex mentioned...his car is clean and a good example... :blush:

The price is ok, could probably get it for a bit less. (Provided you convince them to supply a RWC).

Don't worry about the kms, as the majority of jap imports have been tampered with.

Assess the condition of the car and make your decision based on that.

Ahhh...in the real world, we still call that an auto. Note the presence of a torque convertor.......

yeah I was at the show n shine today. I may go and have a look at this car but after talking to people today it does look like my best option will be to save up and either get a 34 trip or anothercar more known for their reliability.

to answer the questions I do only have an auto license and am yet to drive a manual so i do need the auto or tip.

semi auto's are the only transmission id use now its got the best of both worlds; even if it was was about power automatics actually can have better take off(fastest drag cars use automatics and i think their sequential) with an automatic u can preload the transmission instead of with a manual jerking the gears into place and getting wheelspin unless you drop the clutch at a lower rpm then you could in the auto.

Just about all the supercars have them now and theres a reason. its good to be able to eat, drink, do other stuff and not have to worry about changing gears sometimes. obviously i know u will lose about 5% power over all and add 10kgs+ to the car weight but if it came to it id rather the auto instead of the climate control

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
